I spent one month in the Faroe Islands with Sea Shepherd, documenting the grindadráp the traditional pilot whale hunt that still takes place across the archipelago. It was a journey that combined documentary photography with exploration, revealing both the extraordinary beauty of the islands and one of their most controversial traditions.
The Faroe Islands are among the most breathtaking places I have ever visited. Towering cliffs, endless waterfalls, dramatic coastlines and an incredible abundance of wildlife create a landscape that feels almost untouched. Every day was an invitation to explore, hike and experience nature at its wildest.
But the islands are also defined by a profound contrast. Alongside their pristine landscapes and thriving marine life, the grindadráp remains part of local tradition. Spending time there with Sea Shepherd offered a deeper understanding of this complex reality, where breathtaking natural beauty exists alongside an issue that continues to spark international debate.
This collection reflects that experience. It is a visual story of wild landscapes, wildlife and life in the Faroe Islands, but also of the delicate balance between culture, conservation and our relationship with nature. A place that captivated me, challenged me and left me with far more stories than photographs.
